AaronFalkenberg 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Everything seemed to flow quite well when I saw this, from the lean of the hoodoos with the swriling clouds to the wave of the rocks in the foreground. Thanks for any thoughts. cheers, Aaron Link to comment
grey-n-wiser 0 Posted July 31, 2006 I would agree, your image does flow very well! Good contrast! Congrats! Link to comment
corbin 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Well captured. You could probably play with the contrast for a more dramatic effect. Link to comment
david robinson 0 Posted August 1, 2006 Aaron, this forms seems somehow even more dramatic in B&W. These forms positively loom here and really seem alive -- they are taking on abstarct human shapes. It was their jaunty attitude that has attracted me all along. Now I am really smilling. Very nice work Aaron... Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 1, 2006 I'll agree with David, I think B&W is a better approach than color here, because it's the swaying lines in these formations that amaze the most. A fine composition here, and of course the near-congruence between the spires and the clouds really makes the image work. The light seems a bit flat -- though I think this a successful image, it'd be interesting to see the same shot in more dramatic light. Link to comment
giuseppe_miriello1 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Hi Aaron... i like this image very much and i agree this should stay b/w... you have here so many curved geometric patterns both in the lower part and in the higher part of the frame that the only way to go - according to my tastes - is b/w... also i like tones and level of details, i like the choice to not overdo contrasts becouse otherwise we would have lost many details in highlights... very well done... g.

gdanmitchell 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Nice work Aaron. I haven't see the color version, but I can't imagine that it would be more effective than this BW version - it seems like a perfect image for monochrome treatment since that focuses our attention on the textures, shadows, and form. Since you asked for comment/feedback, and even though I think this is very effective as is, I wonder whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing to lose just a bit of the right margin of the image? My eye is slightly distracted by the the bit of darker background hillside. I would not go so far as to eliminate it completely; perhaps just take out 40%-50% of it. Or not... :-) Dan Link to comment
AaronFalkenberg 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Hi Dan, I never mind trying a crop. You might be right... cheers, Aaron Link to comment
